--- Quote from: Akima on 07 Jun 2016, 02:50 ---I am disappointed to see that CoD makes tea with *shudder* tea-bags.
--- End quote ---
I saw that, and assumed he was drinking the sort of herbal tea that is more usually available in bags. And we know they do herbal teas because of the Bubbles unicorns episode.
Unfortunately, all sorts of even quite respectable UK coffee and tea places use tea bags now. :-(

That's the way it's normally done in coffee shops in the US - their primary business is coffee, not tea, so it's easiest for them to make tea in single-serving sizes. Which, in general, means handing the customer a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Yeah, I'm one of those weirdos who orders tea in coffee shops (can't drink coffee, tears up my stomach) - but dedicated tea shops are pretty thin on the ground here.

Indeed. I'm 37, and a tea drinker, not a coffee drinker. Discounting iced tea, I can count on one hand the number of coffeeshops I've been to where they've served loose tea instead of bagged tea.
Loose tea is more common if you go into sit down restaurants - in part because they can brew a whole pot for you.

Musing: Clinton's competence is probably a by product from having to deal with a Cybernetic hand at an earlier age - he kind of had to grow up and learn how to use it and take care of it and who knows what medical issues he has to deal with. And he probably had a lot of anger too but is gradually moving away from that.
So yeah he may have some maturity in reserve when he's not kvetching about various things.
I like the recent developments.

--- Quote from: retrosteve on 06 Jun 2016, 12:35 ---Funny, I see him as turning more into a red-haired Sven. Which would be hot indeed.
Also, maybe I'm just projecting my own prejudices here, but at his current level of hotness, he can do better than Brun, I think.
--- End quote ---
Shallow, self-absorbed, manipulative is hot. Got it. And with " ... do better then Brun," you are indeed projecting, or perhaps displaying is a better word, more than you perhaps intend. Please say you're being ironic, or trolling, or both.
--- End quote ---
I've been unclear, not ironic. I was referring to looks not personality, with the first remark. He just looks like Sven, is all, and he's obviously not self-absorbed or manipulative.
And conversely, I was referring to personality (self-confident, relatively sane, does the right thing) with the second. Brun is a bit of a mess, personality-wise, and I don't think she's up to being a good companion for Clinton or anyone else right now.
